T: "Say, you two, let's practice something. Are you ready to practice?"
G-Bear and E-Bear: "Yeah!"
T: "Ok, repeat after me. Jo-seph."
G-Bear: "JO-phus!"
E-Bear: "Jo-PHUS!"
T: "Not quite, let's try that again. Jo-SEFFF."
E-Bear: "JO-PHUSSSS!"
G-Bear: "JOPHUS!"
(ten minutes later)

It never ceases to amaze me how mispronunciations stick among my children--the oldest starts it, and they all learn and we can't seem to change the habit. My 2.5, 4 and 5.5 year old all say "coRRECter" instead of "character", and "hootel" instead of "hotel", and there are quite a few more, even though otherwise they speak very clearly. Jophus is hilarious.
